Non-Traditional & Diverse Relationships
Supporting clients in deconstructing mononormative societal constructs and navigating non-traditional forms of relating, including ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, solo poly, and polyamory.
I believe that the most fulfilling relationships are ones that are tailored to our unique wants and needs. I support partners in co-creating the relationship that is right for them. The default relationship escalator of monogamy simply does not work for everyone! I am experienced in helping partners navigate issues related to communication, boundaries, trust, and jealousy, and the ever-present balancing act of autonomy & individuality vs. attachment & connection.
Making the Paradigm shift
Values of Conscious Relating
Healthy Interdependency
Mutual empowerment, shared growth and appropriate boundaries.
Individuality & Autonomy
Respect for each partner's independence with their own experiences, needs, desires, and goals.
Honesty & Transparency
Compassionate communication about wants, needs, expectations and boundaries.
Self-Regulation
Partners may be essential sources of support, but you are the primary caretaker of your emotions.
Flexibility & Adaptability
Embracing the inevitability of evolution, growth, and change.
Community
Recognizing that partners cannot fulfill all our relationship needs. Finding love and support in community.
